Grabbing books for patrons, putting items back on shelves, and straightening can lead to some surprising finds. We are closed today but open again tomorrow. We just wanted to share some of them with you. Here are some of the treasures we found this week:
The Rook
by Daniel O'Malley
First in a series, The Rook brings readers on a suspense-filled thrill ride around London as the amnesiac main character attempts to piece her life back together. There are supernatural forces, secret organizations, betrayal, intrigue, and so much more. Visit a side of London not often seen through the unique voice of one of its protectors.
The Street Beneath My Feet
by Charlotte Guillain and Yuval Zommer
If your kids are interested in science or dinosaurs or geology or ever just wondered about what was under their feet, they'll get a kick out of this one. With a huuuuuge foldout showing some of the layers all the way to the earth's core (really, we couldn't believe how many folds it took to fit in the book), it is a fun and unique read.
The Unofficial Guide: Walt Disney World 2023
by Bob Sehlinger & Len Testa
Just was cataloged last week, this is the latest in the series that one of our staff swears by, has to make sure both she and we have a copy on the shelves as soon as it comes out, and won't plan a Disney vacation without. If you want to get the most out of your Disney vacation, this is the book for you!
